O’Callaghan back with a double

IT WAS the sweetest return for prodigal son George O’Callaghan at Stangmore Park last night as the midfielder marked his first game back with a nice pair of strikes that set Cork City on their way in Group One of the Setanta Cup.

More than a few of the travelling supporters had O’Callaghan first to score at odds of 8/1, such was the anticipation surrounding his first game back in the Cork City colours.

And O’Callaghan was clearly eager to please. An ambitious back heel nearly cost him his hamstring in the 10th minute while he was first to offer himself for every set piece, enthusiasm which paid dividends after 16 minutes.
